You can’t say you’ve been to Addis until you’ve stood for a coffee at the original Tomoca in Piassa. Established in 1953, It’s a tiny, old school spot with wood paneled walls and vintage Italian machines that look like they belong in a museum. The original Tomoca Coffee in Piassa is an iconic landmark!The moment you walk through the door, the smell of dark roasted beans hits you they’re roasting them right there behind the counter just like they have since the 50s. There are no chairs, so just squeeze in, order a macchiato, and stand at the tall tables with the locals. It’s fast, it’s loud, and it’s the best caffeine kick in the city.
